I suggest you try this for a bit to see if it works for you.
Longer term you can get replacement rear panels that attach with magnets/screws in furniture ply that you can mount sockets and panels on...
Thanks! I didn't even know about the one under my seat! Thinking about retrofitting some heated seats from this now haha.
I've attached what's under my seat
And assuming this is what I'd need: link
What would be the neatest way to tap/splice into this? - Also potentially a stupid question, but...
Can anybody recommend the best and/or easiest cable route to run from this fuse panel to under the passengerseat? I assume seats and floor will need removing?
I’m pretty sure there isn’t. It’s under the driver’s seat.
The fault re-occurred a couple of weeks ago while I was re-fitting the lower centre dash panel (the one that covers the fuse panel and goes over the gear lever) from the passenger side whilst kneeling and leaning on the floor mat in...
Ok double you turn...
Had a look at the alternative options.
Had a look at the combi units, ie inverter chargers.
Decided we don't need and 240v EHU in 96% of the time.
So decided to go with the inverter only option.
But 3kw ISH to convert the requirements.
And one that could be N-PE...
So I finally got the time to add the MPPT.
Thanks to everyone that helped answer my questions. I didn't have enough room under the drivers seat so had rlto route the battery cables to the passenger base which was surprisingly easy.
Bit tight for space
Cables pulled though without a snag...
Evening all, In our new van there is a fused biggish cable from the starter battery that feeds a power amp under the passengerseat . I’m thinking would it be possible to feed the power amp then carry it on to the charger / leisure battery.
I’m just thinking of room, because I will also need to...
I had an issue with my oem towing socket when the off side position and stop lights stopped working. The nearest V W dealer did the diagnostics and said everything in the van was working. I subsequently removed the passengerseat and swivel and found that one of the fuses in the carrier pictured...
Wow, thanks for quick reply and info, that’s pretty fat cable, but I understand the reasons so it makes sense. It’s not got far to go to the passengerseat and hopefully I can get my 1000w inverter in there.
I assume not to much of an issue getting the cables under the carpet between the seats...
So I think I've bought all I need for this now, then realised again that I don't understand electrics properly.
I'll have two lights (total of six) on each dimmable switch/button. In trying to avoid voltage drop and wire issues, I was going to ground to the chassis local to the LED lights...
So after my solo T6 Spring camp:) I came away with four mods: strip lights on pop top, usb on VW badge, diffuser on exposed led strip and this one:
Last year threw the orange "light of death" fridge out and replaced it with a chest fridge. In the camp discovered the 12v cable was long enough...
Hello
Although iv read so many posts on all the leisure electrics set ups, my mind has “frozen” trying to work out what gear I need to order. So far, I’ve chosen a Roamer 160ah lithium battery,, to be fitted underpassenger swivel.
Hopefully some other Victron kit can fit in with this battery...
Hi, I'm new to the forum and have a question regarding my 2022 T6.1 Kombi. Under the single N/S passengerseat of a RHD Kombi is a long slim fuse box. This is fed by a fairly thick red wire which is permanently live and terminates and splits into a slightly thinner one and three thin ones which...
Update:
I've wired the seats in using a combination of the above wiring diagram and the T6.1 heated seats diagram found in the VIP section and I still can't get them to work.
As per the pic in post #6, I connected the wires under the passengerseat as follows:
VAN - SEAT
white -...
If you take out VIP Membership then you will have access to the wiring diagrams in the download section.
It may be that it's not a bypass that you have fitted but the older design universal wiring kit that takes power direct from the lights?
If you take a few pictures of what you have will...
That's correct - if you check the instructions it says to connect the MPPT to the battery first so it can detect the voltage. You can also set all the settings via the app at that point. You can also wire in the PV cables without a panel connected, at the same time as the battery cables. Then...
Hi thanks for the reply.
I have a permanent live under the passengerseat so was going to use that
But will later on be putting a EHU cable in and another permanent live for a sub. Through that route.
Thanks for this info. Appreciate you taking time to feedback on your outcome . I fitted a driver swivel yesterday (RIB) into our t6.1 shuttle. Plan was to also install the Kiravans double swivel on the passenger side as have double bench seat and the new style Kiravans double swivel has the...
more bits inbound thanks to 12v Planet + Screwfix.
thinking of going with the external EHU IN under the bonnet by the battery . . .
got some 2.5mm 20A Arctic blue cables for the runs. . .
a two way CU . . . . ( the red lamp show incoming reverse polarity L/N apparently)
which...
It is this wire…
4 AWG CCA Power and Earth cable
I have one of these fuses in the engine bay approx 10cm from battery, then some of this wire to underpassengerseat, then another one of those fuses, then across with this wire to the alternator input on the Renogy under driver seat.
If...
